GS1000 hydraulic clutch

[Agemax]

Adrian, The work your are doing is amazing to me. Curious though, what will the clutch cover be like when finished obviously can't have a large opening for operation? Thanks for keeping us lesser talented members involved. Ray

hi Ray, when finished it will look like this pic, but without all the webbing from the cover covering the clutch.



as it is hydraulic operation now, it is operated from the left side so there is no need for the strengthening webs and mechanism for clutch release in the cover.It has a clear acrylic cover over the opening to keep all the oil in......

here is a pic of the parts required for the modification.




1. slave cylinder.GasGas 400EC 2004
2. GSXR clutch pusher, with thrust bearing and washer(s).
3. pushrod. 8mm silver steel. carbon heat treated at each end.(not shown)
4. mounting plate, 5mm mild steel, cut and drilled to fit
5. nylon spacer. plugs the original hole in crankcases, and used as a pushrod support. 8mm oil seal fitted and 2 x 6mm tapped holes to assist in removing plug if required.

obviously you will need a clutch M/C and hydraulic hose.

NOTE; this mod will only fit with an offset front sprocket. original sprocket cover may fit with a few mods. i am not using it so i dont know, and i havent got one to try.

clutch as it looks now.......



modded clutch cover, just been vapor blasted, waiting for lexan window and oil sight glass, then paint.



nylon spacer fitted, with oil seal and pushrod located.



mounting plate fitted.....



finally, how the slave sits, not bolted on.


there is a lot more clearance between the slave and the chain, the pic is very deceptive..

The lower case on the GS1000 is essentially the same as the 1100/1150?

Not that I'm thinking of doing this.

Ok, I am thinking....

i could give the exact dimensions of everything if you plan on going ahead but i guess the pushrod length may be different with an 1100/1150 engine and i dont know if the clutch and countershaft is the same length and i/d, if indeed they have a hollow shaft.....
